Adding memory to Laptop

I'm looking to add some memory to my Levono laptop. They call out for DDR3-1600 Low-Halogen SODIMM

Levono wants $130 for 8 gigs
Any recommendations to a mfg would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Crucial and Kingston both have tools on their websites to let you find suitable memory.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the links. Any input on a quality manufacturer, or are they all come out of the same factories?

Crucial (which is Micron) is very dependable. I've upgraded countless machines with Crucial RAM and have never had an issue.

G-Skill came recommended from a friend of mine. I built a PC w/ 16GB (2x8 sticks) and have had zero issues. Worth looking into.

Thanks people!

A couple of things to keep in mind.

Verify the maximum amount of RAM your laptop can support.
- How many slots are available?
- What is the maximum amount of RAM supported by the motherboard?

Verify your version of windows will support the upgraded RAM.

I'm good to go. It's a 16 month old win7Pro machine supports 32Gig, comes with 8, 4 slots.

Crucial and Kingston are both good quality. Kingston can be good value.

I've put Crucial memory in every PC I've owned over the last 15 years. Their site, Crucial.com, will help you determine the type and amount of memory you need. In my opinion memory is not something you want to cheap out on.

any issues with mixing memory. I remember in the old days it was prudent to match the mfr in the machine.

Then based on your comment, I assume that you are running the 64bit version of Win7 correct?

yup

Thanks for the input.

It's not as common anymore but you can still run into issues with mixed RAM.
